"Send more people to search, as long as no bodies are found..."
The order issued by Oran, for some reason, was passed on midway, "As long as a person is found, even a corpse, a very high reward will be given, including a fief and a slave."
The British nobles who received this order had their own plans.
Corpse?
------------------
"Asshole, what are you hiding under the bed?"
"My lord, no."
In a village with a flying snake flag, seven fierce soldiers were searching for Edward and Credo from house to house.
"You are dishonest and put so much food under the bed. The king has decreed that each household must pay tribute for next year. Now we collect it in advance."
"This is my seed for the next season..."
"Shut up. The enemy's sword has already come to kill you. Without our protection, how can you, an old man, hide and live in peace? It's time for you to help Wessex."
Border villages were crying.
The soldiers looked for the children and took away everything they could. Anyway, there were more and more soldiers in Oran, dividing the country into pieces. There were often British troops just a few hills away.
This village seemed to have been massacred. After the soldiers left, everyone was packed.
In a shepherd's house in the corner, an old man watched the remaining sheep being taken away, biting his lip and saying nothing.
Soon, someone walked out. They had lost everything and planned to defect to the Northern Dynasty.
"I heard that the saint has arrived. If you go there, you can exchange it for a bite of wheat porridge."
Those who were sick but did not want to die took their last breath and left the village.
The originally dilapidated village became even more depressed.
Some children have witnessed too much suffering and lost family members. They sit on the ground with empty faces, helpless.
The old man returned to the spacious sheepfold, covered all the light-transmitting areas with thatch, then pushed open a smelly big wooden bed and pulled out the two children hiding underneath.
One day, the old man was passing by a stream while herding sheep and picked up these two children.
The old man knew about the Flying Snake Army's massive manhunt, so he put the two children on the cart and took them home.
When he saw the portrait and finally confirmed the identity of the two people, the old man almost went crazy with joy.
This is a treasure from heaven. He lost everything, but now he can exchange these two children for many things.
He didn't dare to tell others for fear of being robbed of his credit.
His guess was correct. Soldiers came and went, squeezing them even harder. Some children's cries even aroused the soldiers' ferocity and they were beaten to death.
During the war, the quality of compassion disappeared.
"Uncle, aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? My son was recruited by the lord and died in battle. All he brought back was a few bones. Those soldiers even charged me two large sheets of linen to wrap the body. If my grandson is still alive, he will also follow you. Even though I don’t know what you have done, I will protect you. The Bible says, Blessed is the one who helps others, for God will be with him.”
The old man's pious look made Edward feel relieved.
"As long as you take us to the Northern Army, you will be rewarded, and someone will take care of you in the future." Credo stood up and supported His Highness, who was still very weak, and helped him clear the dust.
"Stop talking, I'm looking for an opportunity. Are you all hungry? I'll take out the remaining mutton."
"Uncle, just have some porridge and water."
After Edward finished speaking, the old man waved his hand: "How is that possible? You are a patient. You wait for me."
The old man left the sheepfold, and Edward's eyes immediately became alert again.
"You can't believe everything he says. People are arresting us everywhere. He keeps saying that he doesn't know who we are. Since he doesn't know, he was very active yesterday and said he would take us to the Northern Army to find my father.
Father (Olan)?
I know he put a reward on me. When we were still in the hands of the princess, there was a drunken knight who drank too much and humiliated us, saying that he would beat me to death and send the body back.
Earl of Great Britain. "
"Your Highness, are you saying this person is unsafe?"
"Be cautious, but we can't go anywhere now. If he doesn't mean to harm us, then stay here."
After another four days, Edward was able to walk.
Although the sheepfold is their area of activity and it smells extremely bad, at least they are not afraid of being beheaded by the flying snake army in their sleep.
That night, the old man came again to tell the two children that a Northern army had entered the outer town and that they would soon be able to see their families.
The two children were dubious, but at night, someone suddenly broke into the village and started setting fire.
Edward was held by Credo, and the two children rushed into the sea of fire. Edward wanted to help the old man, but he saw a black figure break in and killed the old man directly.
Then the two children were wrapped in cloth bags and slowly lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was beside a bonfire, with the moon and stars sparse,
Two yellow horses, a middle-aged man with a goatee wearing armor, and four younger looking men, seeming to be his bodyguards?
The food was roasting on the bonfire, and the oil and water from a lamb heated up as the flames slowly flowed down.
The aroma of food, a strange man, the wilderness, the murdered old man,
Scenes of scenes began to be constructed...
At this time, the man suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Credo, who was about to tear off the leg of lamb for Edward, paused.
Prince?
This is the title bestowed upon the prince today.
Northern Army!
"Who do you belong to?" Edward coughed several times.
"We are currently affiliated with the rebellious flying snakes, but we will soon switch to the light. Please guide us."
The knight respectfully handed over the food and began to make up lies, saying that he had a big grudge against the Flying Snake. After many discussions about the prince, he finally found out,
He also discovered that the old man who saved Edward secretly went to meet other lords in the distance and wanted to harm the two of them.
Now he plans to surrender, hoping that the prince can accept it. He is sincere to the Celestial Empire.
When the knight finished speaking, Edward wanted to laugh.
In the dark shadow just now, he saw the sword used to kill the old man, which looked very similar to one of the middle-aged man's subordinates.
The whole thing was that the old man was afraid of being robbed of his credit, so he reported it to a kind and majestic knight from a nearby village.
But after receiving the information, the knight immediately dismissed his family and brought a few men who had been on the battlefield to come to this dilapidated village to arrest people.
He even chopped the old man down directly.
Now that there is no evidence to prove, the knight can make up any reason to explain the two Edwards.
The two children were once again hostages.
After the knight presented the food, Edward took it with a pleasant expression: "Your thoughts are as clear as the stars in the sky. I swear on my family that if you take me back, you will gain glory and dignity."
The goatee knight fell to his knees, then crawled over.
"Your Majesty is the great man who saves England today. I am doing this for the country and for Britain."
Before setting off last night, the knight even asked the people in charge of the Northern Dynasty Daying's three-kneel-and-nine-kowtow ceremony.
Practiced in front of the mirror for an hour.
Edward knelt and knelt when he saw him, and his father's ghostly voice came to his ears.
He was extremely disgusted.
Since the Northern Army had already entered the surrounding area, the knight thought that all he needed to do was contact any noble from the Northern Army.
Seeing this overwhelming wealth, he threw away his calmness and headed to the nearest British military outpost.
During the process, Edward asked him: "What reward is life, and what reward is a dead body?"
After receiving the supreme reward of bringing back the dead body, Edward's heart dropped.
There are so many factions under my father, and so many women give him children...
The outpost that the knight visited was in charge of Gliese, the Duke of York, and his sister Arion also gave birth to a child for Oran.
Before the knight surrendered, Edward told him not to go and to let his subordinates surrender.
involved.
He hid to see the situation, and told them to let his men see King Oran or Lady Adisha.
But the people at the outpost detained this subordinate and forced him to tell where the person was?
In the end, I couldn't ask, so I killed him directly and started a search.
Gliese gave the order to bring the body back.
Even when Olan asked about his body, he deduced that the Flying Snake Army had repeatedly used Edward's information to lure their own soldiers out and secretly attack.
This time, I was afraid that the enemy's daughter was responsible for the plot, so I didn't adopt it.
All four of the knight's men were dead, forcing him to hand over the other horse to Credo, and he took Edward and fled south.
The flying snake wants to kill Edward, and the British ministers don't know who is loyal?
Start running away again!
In this world, is there a prince who runs away from anyone like a dog?
Following the sheep tracks, they even crossed the barren land,
This knight's previous territory was also captured by the British army, and now he has a home and cannot return.
During this process, he even thought about killing Edward and collecting the reward with his body?
Edward saw what he was thinking: "Life is often ordinary and sinking. Sometimes opportunities come and you can't grasp them. I have so many brothers. You hand me over to a flying snake. If I am killed, my father will avenge me and threaten me." Everyone in Sykes will go to the execution stand. Even if you get the land, how long can you be called Your Excellency?
If you give my body to the rebels, they will kill you and report it, saying they want to avenge me and take back the body.
Risking your life to send me back to King's Landing will give you more. "
This made sense, so the knight continued to hide with them and recover from their injuries.
As long as a person doesn't want to die, he will always have the power to live.
They eat everything, stumble around in the dirt, and are dirty and smelly.
But none of the three gave up.
The soldiers chased them, and they fled in the turmoil.
Hiding among trees and behind rocks, this knight's function was fully utilized. He was very familiar with the surrounding mountains, and finally led people into the mountains.
That night, I managed to get two fat rabbits. After removing their fur, they rubbed them together to make a fire. The light from the fire slowly drove away the mosquitoes, bringing some comfort to people.
Edward didn't eat first, and neither of them spoke.
"Credo, what do you want to do when you go back?"
"I guess...don't know."
"What about you, Yegor?"
"Hungry, tired, sleepy... I want everything. I want a noble woman."
Edward thought of Adisha's mother's face...
Hungry sounds, warmth dissipates, and evil thoughts arise.
"I swear to the world, if England is mine, anyone who dares to point a sword at me along the way will be crushed to ashes!"
